It's a bug on my side. I will fix it. Thanks for the report.

@Mancuerna You can try now, but you need to install selectolax from GitHub.

I will add some flexibility to the text functionality before releasing it to PyPi.

I'm having the same problem with the latest fix. Here you have a Pastebin with the code I'm using to test it (sorry for not writing it here but Github's parser is messing it up).

As you can see the beautifulsoup4 print is the proper one while selectolax is only printing the text of the first element inside the div.

Your second example is a bit different, that's why I wanted to add additional functionality.

In [1]: from selectolax.parser import HTMLParser

In [2]: html = '<div class="post-contents"> <p><a href="/testtest" rel="5" class="quote">#5</a> <a href="testtest" rel="2" class="quote">#2</a> <a href="testtest rel="4" class="qu
   ...: ote">#4</a> testtesttesttesttest.</p> </div>'
   ...: selector = "div.post-contents p"
   ...:

In [3]: for node in HTMLParser(html).css(selector):
   ...:     print(node.text(deep=False))
   ...:
   testtesttesttesttest.

In [4]: html = '<div class="post-contents"><p><strong><em>Night School Studio</em></strong>, estudio responsable de ' \
   ...:        '<em>Oxenfree</em> (una de las sorpresas del año pasado que pasó desapercibida tanto para prensa como ' \
   ...:        'comunidad), ha anunciado su próximo título, <strong><em>Afterparty</em></strong>.</p></div> '

In [5]:

In [5]: for node in HTMLParser(html).css("div.post-contents"):
   ...:     print(node.text())
   ...:
Night School Studio, estudio responsable de Oxenfree (una de las sorpresas del año pasado que pasó desapercibida tanto para prensa como comunidad), ha anunciado su próximo título, Afterparty.

I changed the behavior of text, now it's a function, not an attribute.
So, for the first example you need to use deep=False, otherwise, it will include all text from a tags.

Can you try now? Works for me.
